Two Minutes

Topic:  Grab your camera
and walk for two minutes,
then take a picture.

Early morning sun

this is the Mesa basin near home.
When it rains, rainwater from the streets
collect into this basin.

Sadie and I walk over here every weekend
and get in some fun-run time!

Party Dishes

Having a party:

What do you serve your food in/on ?


These are my antique dishes, by Vernon Kilns
the pattern is called Linda, 
and was popular in the 40s.

Optical Illusion

Create an optical illusion using forced perspective today.

The Letter "Q"

Something that starts with the letter "Q"

Quilt came to mind.  This one was created for me because I like green.

It was hand sewn back in the early 90s, and I cherish it.

butterfly cutouts ...  pretty! 

Look Down

Looking down at my pug, Sadie

Linen

Colour my week:  Linen

A doily I've had for as long as I can remember

I have to admit, when I saw this topic, 

I didn't think of Linen as a colour, more as a group of things, 

such as bath towels or linens in the linen closet

(is that an old fashioned thing?)

Kitchen Table

Where you sit or stand in the kitchen

sometimes the topic can be fun-- aren't we all curious

about those who take pictures, and what goes on in their lives?

Flashlight

Topic:  Flashlight

(don't know about you, but trying to find an interesting way to snap a flashlight wasn't easy!)

Comparison

Compare two objects of different sizes

When I got the idea for all of this.. I set the toy on the table, got the camera ready,

and finally set Sadie up there....  her first instinct was to check out this new thing....

Carved

Angel of the Heart

by Willow Tree

Willow Tree was introduced in January 2000. The line has grown to encompass those sentiments that we most want to express.  Artist Susan Lordi hand carves the original of each Willow Tree® sculpture. Using family and friends as models, Susan tries to capture a moment in time, or express a feeling.

One Word Tuesday:  Order

Yes, I am a geek.  Yes, I think I have OCD tendencies.

A portion of my videos, and yes they're in alphabetical order!

Take a photo of something old, or make it look old fashioned

This is my collection of Nancy Drew books, first published in 1959

I remember reading them as a pre-teen, and loved them!

Babbitt Metal

It was found in the hope chest of my maternal Grandmother, Luella.

Findings on the internet put it made sometime after 1898. 

Cutlery

Topic:  Cutlery

I've had this knife since the 90s, made by Santa Fe Stoneworks

I wonder if it was some kind of "sign" that this type of southwest

inlaid works appeals because ... well, look where I ended up? *grin*

Sharp as a Tack!

Topic:  Something sharp, or sharply in focus

This little bunny pin I've had forever, its probably leftover from

my brother as a baby (1966) because my kids all wore Pampers!
